More Tips of the Day from Facebook page

Just a few uses for baking soda

An absorbent for moisture and odors e.g; an open box can be left in a refrigerator for this purpose. Also, sprinkle in cat litter box.
Wear as deodorant.
Use as a dry shampoo.
It is used as an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn.
Aids in itch relief from poison ivy rashes.
Added to a bath or made into a paste it can be used to relieve the itching caused by chicken pox or sun burns.
A paste from baking soda can be very effective when used in cleaning and scrubbing.
Cleans brushes and combs to prevent residues.
Brush your teeth and notice they look brighter.


Don't use the toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket
Every time you flush a cigarette butt, facial tissue or other small bit of trash, five to seven gallons of water is wasted.


Empty toilet paper rolls are great for helping to organize loose wires, cords, headphones and more. Place dryer lint in them and use for firestarters.

Put the damp tea bags in a bowl and place it in the fridge for a few days. The tea bags will absorb any odors, and offer same effect as a box of baking soda.

To stretch my cat littler occasionally I will shred or rip old bills and place with the cat litter in the box. Newspaper works too.

Wash all your clothes in cold water and line dry as much as possible.

Don't confuse your path with your destination just because it's stormy now doesn't mean you aren't headed for sunshine.

Crock pot Tip: If you don't have a timer on your crock pot so that your food won't over cook, don't worry, there is a solution for that. Hop on over to a home improvement store and get a timer for your plug. They are around ten or fifteen dollars. You plug your crock pot into that, turn it on and then the timer will come on for when you set it. Most meats you can leave our for two hours without much problem especially if they are very cold in the frig. So you might leave the house at 8, the meal crock pot doesn't turn on until ten and cooks for the 8 hours allotted and is done at six when you walk in the door.
